So I will say that your machine is below our recommended min spec to run the editor, which might be a point of concern when it comes to performance within UE4. > **[Linux Game Development](https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.1/en-US/linux-game-development-in-unreal-engine/)** > > Learn how to develop games for Linux in Unreal Engine. > **[A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/a-new-community-hosted-unreal-engine-wiki/141494)** > > After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline. These resources now live on a new community-run Unreal Engine Community Wiki — https://unrealcommunity.wiki/! You will be able to find content from... Both documents outline the min spec, and then what we recommend when building a development PC. A lot of people like to build gaming rigs, thinking it will also run the editor well, but the editor requires a much larger amount of RAM due to working with large amounts of uncompressed files and heavy processing when doing things like running lightmass. I would look into at least increasing your amount of available RAM from 6GB to 16GB or even 32GB if you can afford it. I recently put together a new machine for myself at home, and made sure to have a lot of RAM and a strong processor. Let me know if you have additional questions.
